News from the leading Suzuki driver:P-G Andersson (1st in JWRC): “It’s a fantastic feeling to win my home rally and start off this year’s Championship in the best possible way! The car has been absolutely perfect throughout all three legs and the team is working better than ever. I felt confident enough to control my advantage and not push too hard today. Our next rally is Argentina, so I’m going to be looking for another win there!”

Other news from Suzuki:Guy Wilks was relieved to reach the finish after coming within seconds of being classified too late to continue the rally following his problems on day two.

Urmo Aava was delighted with his first podium driving a Swift. “It’s a fantastic car,” he said. “Once I realised I could get a podium, I just drove carefully to the end!”

News from “Monster” Tajima:“Congratulations to P-G for a fantastic performance where he led from start to finish. Seven Suzukis started the rally and seven have finished, proving the reliability and driveability of our cars. Congratulations also to Urmo, for an excellent podium. We all feel very sorry for Guy, but we have absolutely no doubt that he will be back!”
